Great to hear she is still making improvements too with her condition.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Seems there have been some keepers that have issues with the aluminum mesh, personally it has been uncommon in my mantids, but it is good to see you altered it as needed. I started using it myself with my wild caught mantids as some (especially males) like to try biting through the mesh the first day or so and the plastic/fiberglass mesh is easy for them to bite through (I've had several close calls with wild mantids before going to aluminum).Perhaps in those cases it would be good to layer the plastic/fiberglass mesh over the aluminum to prevent the problems, and still have the protection if needed.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
